Yes you read that right. To mark the occasion of Narendra Modi’s 66th birthday on Saturday, the government is planning to make an entry into the Guinness Book of Records for its social work initiatives. An initiative is being taken will the assistive aids and appliances will be distributed by the government of India in Navsari, a village around 50 kilometers from Surat, Gujarat. The appliances would be distributed to approximately 11000 differently-abled persons in his home town. 11000 people have never been given assistive aid and appliances at one time. This will be a new record.
